Import Tips
• Document embossing process and coating specs; CBP may require cross-sections to verify no other coatings beyond kaolin
• Label rolls/sheets clearly as 'lightweight coated for inkjet' to prevent confusion with uncoated media
• Test for mechanical fiber percentage; blends near 10% threshold need precise analysis to avoid reclassification
